Nerreh followed Vaeyla over to the rocks, curiosity increasing. She sat down, one leg bent with the foot flat against the rock to create a platform she could rest her arm against as she watched Vee seat herself. Nerreh's eyebrows rose at her friend's explanations. "A Turn's End gift?" She asked as she took the pack, wondering what would prompt Vee to bring a gift. They were friends, sure, but they hadn't seen each other in a good while, so it was a bit unexpected. All of her questions were forgotten the moment she saw what had been brought for her.
"Oh, wow!" Nerreh exclaimed as she pulled out the jacket. "This is awesome, Vee!" She quickly slipped the jacket on, carefully fastening it closed before glancing back at the pack and realizing there were gloves in there too. Nerreh grabbed those and put them on too, flexing her fingers and turning her hands back and forth to check the fit. Definitely a good size for gloves, if a bit stiff, but that seemed to be a new leather thing. But if it was new leather, then...
"Vee, are these brand new?" Nerreh asked, slightly stunned. Most of her clothes were hand-me-downs from other weyrbrats, and she very rarely got a brand new anything. To have a flight jacket and gloves of her very own that hadn't been worn down by someone else first? How cool. "What'd'ya think?" She asked Vee, posing a little and grinning wildly. A beat later, and a new thought struck her.
"Vee, are you really sure I'll need these?" Nerreh asked, bravado suddenly diminished at the thought she many never truly need such a wonderful gift or get to put it to proper use. She may act confident that she'd Impress, but aging out was still something Nerreh feared.
